Adventure Watersports

Adventure Watersports provide ski-ing and wake boarding lessons and equipment at Burrendong Dam. They have all the gear you need, life jackets, skis, wetsuits etc. They take people of all ages and experience. I went skiing with them and it was an absolute blast. They have tube things that go behind the boat if you can’t ski.

It’s run by Gavin and Karla Stait – a young couple who are passionate about their water skiing – check out their website or facebook page for more info.

Burrendong Dam is just 45 minutes from Dubbo and a great place to spend a day. Go for a walk along the dam wall. Have a BBQ in the picnic area. Have a swim in the pool. Try your hand at waterskiing or wake boarding on the dam.

Adventure Watersports also hire Kayaks. The Macquarie river is very smooth and picturesque and a great place to go for a paddle. Gavin and Karla will be able to fix you up with everything you need.

And they even supply free soft roof racks to fit any car or you can get the kayak delivered to the river for $25.
